Nonedited

Nonedited is an adjective formed with the prefix non- and the past participle edited, meaning not edited; not revised, altered, or processed from its original form. It is used across fields to indicate raw, unaltered material or text, distinguishing it from edited or revised versions. The term can describe manuscripts, transcripts, notes, footage, or data that have not undergone editing.

In publishing and journalism, nonedited manuscripts, drafts, or source documents have not been subject to copyediting, fact-checking, or layout changes. They may reflect the author's original wording and structure and can contain inconsistencies or errors. In media production, nonedited footage or recordings are raw, uncut recordings produced before any sequencing, color grading, or sound mixing, and are often used as references or require editing to produce a final product.

In data and digital contexts, nonedited data denotes raw outputs from sensors, experiments, or systems that have not been cleaned, normalized, filtered, or aggregated. The term can carry implications about authenticity or provenance, but also about potential limitations in accuracy, context, and bias due to the lack of processing.

Spelling and usage notes: nonedited is less common in everyday language than unedited or non-edited. In professional catalogs, archives, or metadata fields, nonedited may appear to indicate the provenance or status of material before processing. Overall, nonedited signals a state of original, unprocessed content, suitable for analysis, comparison, or later editing.
